Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 medium celery stalks
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 large parsnip
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.
Add the ribs to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes in total. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
Chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.
Add onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste; cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the ribs to the pot, then pour in the beef broth.
Add bay leaves and fresh thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender.
Peel and dice the potatoes and chop the parsnip.
Add the potatoes and parsnip to the pot and cook for another 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the ribs, shred the meat off the bones, discard the bones, and return the meat to the pot.
Season the soup with salt and additional pepper to taste, if necessary.
Stir in chopped parsley and remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.
